Story
Pigeon is my beloved 6-7 year old tuxedo kitty. I am hoping to rehome her with someone who is financially capable of keeping up with her special needs care. Pigeon has had 2 surgeries and multiple vet visits relating to urinary crystals, stones, and infections. She needs prescription urinary food and frequent check ups to ensure she is in good health, which I am not financially able to provide. She has a silly personality and is a wonderful, cuddly, sweet cat. I feel like I am out of options. I am hoping that by being honest about her needs, I can find someone who will love her and care for her in the ways she requires.

Story
Seeking a Loving Home for Two Bonded Brother Kittens 🐾 Hi neighbors 💛 This is a very difficult post for our family to write. We are looking to rehome our two kitten brothers, 6 months old, who are deeply bonded and must stay together. They’ve never been apart and truly thrive as a pair. We adopted them before learning that our unborn baby has a rare medical condition, which has changed our family’s circumstances drastically and quickly. As part of our care plan, we will need to relocate to Las Vegas for the remainder of the pregnancy and birth, and will be away for approximately three months. With medical appointments, travel, and uncertainty around timing, we want to make sure these boys have the stability, consistency, and attention they deserve. This decision is being made out of love and responsibility. We care deeply about them and are committed to finding a safe, calm, forever home- not just any home. ✨ About them:     •    6 months old     •    Sweet, playful

Story
Ash is a lovable, outgoing 3-year-old cat I adopted from a Las Vegas animal shelter in 2023, when he was just a few months old. He has an affectionate, almost puppy-like personality. He loves attention, follows his people around, and is happiest when he’s part of the action. Ash is extremely cuddly and thrives on human interaction. Ash is closely bonded with his sister, Basil, whom I adopted at the same time. They are inseparable and must be adopted together. I’m looking for a new home for Ash and Basil because my circumstances have changed. I’m currently in law school and preparing for the bar exam, which makes it difficult for me to give them the time and financial stability they deserve. This decision was made with their best interests in mind, and my goal is to place them in a loving, stable home where they’ll be truly cared for.

Story
Basil is a sweet, affectionate 3-year-old cat I adopted from a local Las Vegas animal shelter in 2023, when she was just a few months old. She is incredibly friendly and loves to cuddle. Basil is very bonded to her adoptive brother, Ash, whom I adopted at the same time. They play together, nap together, and keep each other company, and they truly are a bonded pair. Because of their strong bond, Basil and Ash must be adopted together. I’m not willing to separate them, as they rely on each other for comfort and companionship. Basil would do best in a loving home with someone who has the time and attention to enjoy her affectionate personality. I’m looking for a new home for them because my circumstances have changed. I’m currently in law school and preparing for the bar exam, which has made it difficult for me to give them the time, attention, and financial stability they deserve. My goal is to place them in a home where they’ll be truly cherished and well cared for.

Story
Kylo is a very sweet boy. He loves attention from humans. He is always the first one to introduce himself to someone new. I have had him since he was a kitten. He loves belly rubs and massages above his tail. He will lay by you all day long. He loves to chase toys around especially toys attached to strings. He has a alot of energy still at 8 and a half years old. He has a sister named Violet who is his best friend. They are a bonded pair. They have been together their entire lives. I am hoping to find someone who can take them both. I am moving out of state for work and unfortunately I can not take them a long. This has been a very difficult decision for me. These two cats are my best friends. I love them very much. I am hoping to make this as least stressful as possible for them.

Story
Violet is a very sweet vocal girl. She loves attention. Her and I have had a routine when I get home from work ever since I got her. She comes to the door meowing at me demanding I pick her up. I hold her like a baby. She loves to snuggle into my neck. She is 8 years old. She has just as much energy as when she was a kitten. Violet loves to chase little toy balls around and will even play fetch with me a few times. She loves cuddles and human attention. She is a very affectionate cat. I just took her to the vet December 8th 2025 for updated shots and a check up. She is a healthy weight. She also has her brother Kylo who is bonded with her. Both have known each other their whole lives. Hoping to find someone who can take them both. That way they get to stay together.
